Ava Muzzy from Roanoke, Virginia has announced her verbal commitment to the University of North Carolina’s class of 2027. She will join the Tar Heels a year after her older sister, All-American Emma Muzzy, graduates from ACC rival NC State.
“I’m so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at The University of North Carolina! Thank you to my family, coaches, and teammates for getting me to this point. Go Heels🐏💙”
A junior at Cave Spring High School, Muzzy is the reigning VHSL 3A state champion in the 200 IM and 500 free.
